As some might notice, my previous furnitures inspire the next furniture I make. I simply want to keep on trying new things and new styles. And that is why I thought of making a lounger. I was focus on comfort with the use of one line gesture that contours the shape of our bodies.

The wood on top is held in place using half T joint style with a 23 gauge brad nail. The sides are glued small pieces of wood, clamped tightly to make it look more colorful. I sliced a the railroad tie in half using a chain saw. With all the cracks from the moisture that came out overtime, it took me almost 40 hours just to carve and clean the ties. It was so so worth though and added more accent to the bottom of the lounger. The coffee branches came from my Bookshelf of Knowledge, which I posted before.

I thought of the name Eternal Lovers’ because I used my best collection of aged old wood. I am in love with old wood, so might as well show off their beauty in simple straight lines. The concept I had is seeing two long time lovers sitting on it and passing on this lounger from happy couple to another.

@Jim: Usually the grandchildren or the great grandchildren either need the money, are migrating to another country or they can’t afford to restore their ancestors’ century old houses. Its sad to say this, but because of poverty, some Filipinos actually use these nice wood for fire wood without knowing their value.

@Christine: I used a very heavy 36” MS 650 STIHL Magnum Chain Saw for the railroad tie.

Very beautiful looking lounger, and it looks very inviting, just waiting to for you to relax and enjoy it,although at first just looking at and feeling the wood would take a high priority, but since it is designedfor eternal lovers, that still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the lounger. My beautiful lady and I have worn out one double recliner, and I plan to keep replacing it until we no longer need it. Keeping your lover close while you relax is an excellent way to keep love growing. Thank you for sharing, Ilike the idea of no armrests, it not only looks good, but allows you to swing your legs over the sideand easily stand up.

OK, now that I have enjoyed this eye candy of a lounger, I want to make one. I just hope that I can do this justice. Question, since I do not see any spaces in between the boards: How did you hold the form of the curved lines while assembling your lounger?

@Manasshed: There’s actually a 1/8’’ space between each board. Some boards were cut at a 85 degree angle on the table saw to make the spaces between the curves smoother. I nailed temporary boards underneath using cheaper wood to hold the curve lines while I measure the proper spaces between each boards that I’m placing on top. I reassembled all the board on a flat surface to arrange the colors before securing it on the curve.
